UTSA and Lyle mutually parted ways after his first season with the program.

"We have agreed to release Deon from his scholarship," said UTSA coach Steve Henson in a statement. "Deon was a great asset during his time here and we wish him the best as he strives to reach his goals on the basketball court and beyond."

I would like to thank the UTSA coaching staff for giving me the opportunity for my junior season. I’m thankful for my time at UTSA and appreciate everyone who supported me, with that being said, I have received my release and will be transferring.
